So for some reason they are using a very heavy perfume inside of the coffee shop, the last two…read moretimes my coffee has actually smelled & tasted like perfume not coffee. The first time I threw the coffee away and chalked it up to someone with lotion on their hands. Today, I did go in to complain and the I didn't notice the smell inside because I had already inhaled so much of it on my coffee cup, but when I got outside, I realized my hair and my clothes all smelled so bad of perfume now as well. So instead of doing my errands I had to come home and take a shower and throw my coat in the washing machine and spray my Jeep out with alcohol. A coffee shop should smell like coffee and donuts not perfume. Very disappointed.

Scooter's seems to be very hit and miss. Sometimes the coffee / lattes are great. Sometimes they…read moreare burnt and bitter. We have had very many rude encounters with the staff, although our more recent visits have been better. Maybe they've hired some kinder people. One of the most frustrating things is how skimpy they are with their drinks. I ask for no foam on my latte - so instead of frothing the milk less, they scoop out a full inch of foam and leave me with a 3/4 full drink. Not what I paid for. Or they ignore me and put 2 inches of foam on top. There is no in between, and it has happened every single time I've come here (10+ visits in the past 2 months). When my husband asks for less ice in his iced drinks, they either ignore his request and fill the cup absolutely full of ice, OR they put a few ice cubes but only fill the drink 2/3 full. I understand they're trying to save margins, but really? It's already a $6 drink, you can't spare 3 extra ounces? There is a decent rewards program when you download the app. Just scan before paying and you rack up points pretty quickly. They also have "double smile days" where you can get double points, just like Starbucks. However, for quality of drinks and friendliness of staff, I'd much rather go to Starbucks. Hopefully they can get some of the kinks worked out, or we won't be coming here any more. We keep giving them chances, but we're often disappointed.

Twisted Sips is one of our absolute favorite locally owned coffee shops. (Can you blame us for not…read morehaving just one favorite?) This little drive-thru gem is owned and operated by the amazing Bobbi Schmith -- a seasoned barista with a heart of gold and a gift for crafting drinks that hit the spot every single time. She's friendly, fast, and full of good energy, and it shows in every sip. The drinks? BIG, bold, and unique. We've tried everything from the Cadbury Egg Latte (pure Easter magic) to the Twisted Caramel Macchiato -- blended to perfection. They also serve up a full lineup of options: hot, iced, or blended... espresso or not. Coffee, tea, cold brew, Lotus, Red Bull, smoothies -- all the good stuff. And the food? Homemade breakfast sandwiches, burritos, and daily lunch specials that are actually worth going out of your way for. Everything's made fresh and served fast, which makes this spot perfect for busy families (like ours!) on the go. They even do fun promos -- like holiday giveaways, surprise discounts, and cheerful seasonal touches that make your day just a little sweeter. Pro tip: Check their Facebook page for daily food specials -- they change it up all the time, and it's always something good. If you haven't been to Twisted Sips yet, treat yourself. You deserve it. #TwistedSips #SpencerIowaEats #DriveThruGold #LocalLove #CoffeeWithHeart #SpencerIowa

Hot tea, greeting cards, teapots, colorful kitchen items, gifts, pie, cheesecake, cookies, homemade confections, nuts, ice cream and did I mention coffee? I am sure I missed telling you things. Go here. Have an ice cream cone in the afternoon. Life is more fun with a bit of a treat now and again.
